This charming illustration, part of the "New Years 1890" series by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company, is a festive depiction of New Year's Eve. The card features a mandolin adorned with holly and mistletoe, a bottle of wine, a bowl of punch, and a glass of wine. This card, typical of the popular trade cards of the late 19th century, was likely given away with the purchase of a pack of Kinney Brothers tobacco. The cheerful scene captures the spirit of celebration and good cheer associated with the holiday.
